49 Chapter 49 - Dobby the Collector

Before Harry realized it a year had passed since he alongside his lover returned to the past. The final month before his third year of Hogwarts began once again. Besides a few more dates with Venelana, hanging out with Daphne and Katie, and a week in France with Fleur. Harry lost himself in researching automaton.

According to Dumbeldore he has a slightly higher talent to this than even DADA. Which was impressive since not many could match his talents in that category. Also with the horcrux removed should have increased a bit more.

"Dobby." Harry called out.

A moment later, an energetic house elf appeared ready to serve. Over the summer, he managed to free Dobby and bind him. Sending Lucius Malfoy a pair of woman underwear from his fake mistress. One way or another led to Dobby being free.

"The Great Harry Potter called?" Dobby smiled proudly.

"I am in need of more parts again. Could you fill the bin again from the usual spot?" Harry asked.

Nodding in acceptance, Dobby vanished alongside a red bin. The usual spot was just an abandoned junkyard, which he bought fairly cheap. A large pile of scrap metal he could use for research or reuse. It was a worthwhile investment in Harry's opinion especially when he discovered a certain aspect in a certain spell.

It turns out with the repairing spell Hermione used on his glasses the first time they met actually reverses time. This allows him to use rusted out parts reshaping or using them once more saving him time and money. As for why it doesn't work on humans or animals, Harry theories it does, just on one cell out of the trillions more.

"Thanks Dobby." Harry said as the elf vanished after reappearing.

Looking over the bin, Harry quickly saw what Dobby gathered and saw a bunch of lights. There were also a bunch of screws, bolts and the like alongside some tubing. A few thoughts ran through his head as he wondered what to make next.

'Should I make an exo-skeleton? It might come in handy if I make a humanoid automata and I could use the experience.' Harry hummed as he remembered a canadian making one. He ended up on several news channels and a few years later opened his own engineering workshop. All while inspiring more to become engineers with his videos he posted online.

'With a bit of magic it wouldn't be clunky either.' Harry thought as he began drawing out his plans and design.

While he began a very basic design similar to the first iron man suit. He began making some changes and adding different features such as a wand holder or magic battery. Since he was sure he could use alchemy to make one. Due to not having an arc reactor laying around nor knowledge to make one.

'Alchemy could take care of most of the heavy physics which I am not good at. The question now is can I find materials strong enough and flexible?' Harry thought of his next road block.

The last thing he needs is the suit burning out from the influx of magic running through it or exploding. Since if makes an automaton he doesn���t want to worry about it randomly exploding taking it surrounding with it.

'The only reason my dragon automata should be able to fly or breath fire is because of the size and small amount needed. After all it just needs a small spark to ignite the lighting fluid I can add easily and to maintain its levitation for flying.' Harry watches his mechanical dragon chasing its tail. 'If I use the same material for my size or even bigger it would burn out in seconds of starting.'

As Harry's finger tapped the desk as he tried to think of a solution, a certain aged wizard walked up behind him. When looking over the drawing, he was puzzled and lost as he understood their blueprints and that all. All the numbers and how the parts fit puzzled him and curious.

"It's nice to see that even at my age I can learn something new." Albus said.

"Indeed. I am really only learning the subject now truth be told. I figure it could be a subject to research throughout this coming school year." Harry said as he puzzled over his current blueprints. "Changing topic. Have you found a replacement for DADA yet?"

"An old friend has agreed to come teach. While his speciality and fame is for magical creatures, he does have the necessary skills to teach DADA." Dumbledore said.

The only one that came to Harry's mind was Newton Scamander who wrote Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. His next was what had Dumbledore offered to get the old man to agree. Since last Harry knew the man was enjoying his retirement.

"Oh, before I forget, don't forget your automata dragon. Newton is interested in seeing it." Dumbledore said before walking away.

Shrugging as he was already planning on bringing the dragon along. Since he doubted Dumbledore would have a cottage left if he didn't. The metal beast has already chewed through five pillows and the legs on the kitchen table. So in nine months or so it wouldn't be a stretch for it to thoroughly destroy the entire cottage.

"Oh, yeah we should probably name it." Harry said mostly to himself. "Lets just call it Teddy."

Nodding at the name, Harry went back to work and began resigning and ideas on how to make it. As such time began to slip away from him with hours turning into day and finally the end of summer break. The thought of the new year beginning filled Harry with excitement as he has a new plan and large prank in store.

'I wonder if the Daphne will find it funny with what I got planned.' Harry thought as seven orange orbs resonated with each other. His seven self made dragon balls were completed and led to an interesting idea. 'Oh, I can't wait.'
